Jack Stevens, character who has from
time to time, tested the hospitality of the
Kennebec Jail for smiling on the wine when
II was-rot-gut, gave the officers of the law
the slip yesterday in the mos, dexterous
manner. He was brought to the Jail by Hal
lowell officers together with two other pris-
oners. While they were in the front part of
the building waiting for the clerk
to call bell boy to show them to their
rooms, Jack suddenly made a dash for the
kitchen, slid out the back door snd made him.
self exceedingly minus in the vicinity. The
officers gave themselves no anxiety on his
account however. 1t is absolutely impossible
for Jack to keep out of Jail. He will IN
doubtedly turn ub in day or two to occupy
the apartments reserved for him, aud when
the culinary department will be securely
locked against him.

greatest success in his present vocation. Mr..

employ of large piping and steam heating
establishment Providence r. l. This
firm has recently contracted with the
government to do very important and ex-
pensive Job on several of the buildings at
Washington, and Mr.. Higgins, although the
youngest of the three hundred employees, has
been given full charge of the work. 1t is
the highest compliment to his worth and
competency that could possibly have been
paid him.

The vestibule train will make its last trip
from Bar Harbor next Saturday, and then
that traiu, the finest in the world, will cease
to be fixture until next season, when it will
undoubtedly be put on again. The success
that has followed it this season is the best of
encouragement to try it again. Travel to and
from Bar Harbor in this train still remains
good. but not as large of course, as earlier in
the season. The cars that compose the train
after next Saturday will be taken to New York
and on the 10Th will begin running between
New York and Washington.

Mr.. M. Roberts of Hallowell possesses an
ancient book which was used by Mr. Thomas
Bonds who kept general stock of groceries
and dry goods in Augusta in 1905, for book
keeping in his accounts with his customers.
Although somewhat musty with age the pa
per is in an excellent state of preservation
and the writing is very legible. 1t contains
the names of a large number of the citizens
of Augusta and surrounding towns
in those days, many descendants OF whom
reside in this section at the present time.
Brandy and rum were frequently charged and
at prices which would be considered very
low in these days of prohibition. On the
other hand clothing goods were dear. one
and one half yards of shlrting
were charged at 63 cents;
pounds of cotton batten, shil'
lings; skeins of silk, IL cents
one stick of twist, cents; yard OF camoric,
60 cents and other fabrics in proportion. An
examination of the book is well worth ones
while.

Mr.. Arthur {. Hall has some curious
specimens of Indian wampum which he Sc
cured on his recent visit to his home at
Damariscotta Mills. large number of
relics of the aborigines have, at various times,
been discovered in this vicinity, which is
supposed to have once formed the site OF
large Indian encsmpment. Recently some
pieces of wampum were noticed upon the
surface of the ground where they had evil
IDENTIFY been thrown by the action Of the frost.
Upon digging down a few feet, nearly two
quarts ofthis material we're obtained and quite
large quantity has since been found in the
same locality There can DE little doubt
that this must have been the burial place OF
the old Indian encampment. This wampum
doubtless represented the wealth OF the old
warriors, and was buried with them that
they might have it upon their arrival at the
happy hunting grounds.

"GlassblOwer's Cheek"

Though the wages or remuneration in
glass blowing are very high, the industry is
not popular. Its unpopularity is no more
than natural, the labor being severe and ex-
hausting, the pain and discomfort great, and
the healthfulness being unpleasantly small to
those engaged. 1t has a characteristic disease
the gIassbIowers cheek-just as the white
lead and quicksilver Industries have their
specific ills. From long continued blowing,
the cheeks, at first muscular, grow thin and
lose their elasticity they then begin to hang
down like inverted pockets and finally grow
unusable. 1t is matter OF record both here
and in Europe that glass operatives have
blown holes through their checks, but no
living curiosity OF this sort can be found at
the present time.

OF great wealth and repute in his day,

Would chirp like a bird on a spray:

or liking for it," he would say.
"As 1t is that forever, through thick and through
thin,
You should keep pegging away
Observation has proved IN the main.
And which might well be Wanted watchword
by youth,
o I'm the labor of hand and of brain;
For If genius and talent are cast
In to work the strongest display.
You can never be sure of achievement at last
Unless you keep pegging away.
There are shopmen who might into statesmen

Politicians for handiwork made;

water from well some distance from the
house for eight or ten years without finding
any fault, but as soon as he needed little
water about his business that could easily
have been carried in pail he at once had a
pipe laid, force pump introduced, and other
arrangements made to save so much extra

A BLOODY BATTLE.
Deputy Sheriff Ward Opens
Fire Upon the Utes.
After a Desperate Fight One
Man Is Killed.
Seven Hundred Indians Re
ported In the Field.
The First News of the Battle.

GLENwooD SPRINGS, Col, Aug. 26,
10 a. m.-The arrival of a courier at this
hour with the report of a fight with Utes,
In which one white man was killed and
several seriously wounded, created a pro.
found impression here. When the news
arrived Governor Adams, who was on his
way to meet Gen. Crook near Meeker for
the purpose of holding a peace pow WOW
with Colorow and leaves here at daylight,
was making a speech at the Hotel Glen
wood. He was speaking on the resolu-
ton which had Just been presented him
on behalf of the citizens endorsing his
action in ordering out the militia. An
officer OF the post came into the room
and walking up to the governor
whispered something in his ear. The
governors countenance grew pale and
after a moments pause he told the
gathering of what he had just heard, and
almost Immediately he left for Gen.
Vests headquarters for consultation.
This news gives a very black eye to the
peace pow WOW, as it is now believed that
a fight is being waged with unrelenting
fury. Ward. the man who is reported
killed, is a prominent citizen of Grand
Butte, AID he was a deputy under Ken
dali. 1t is believed that the officer opened
the ball against the Utes upon his arrival
on the scene when they were parting with
Leslie. This engagement being the first
real baptism of blood since the beginning
of the campaign, the chances are that a
more serious battle occurred to day.
Further news is awaited with great i'm
patience.
